Security Systems 2 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 All delegates have to receive the distributed signals without disturbance. An Integrus receiver needs a minimum of 4 mW/m 2 to work without errors. (resulting in a 80 dB S/N ratio for the audio channels). Use enough radiators, placed at well planned positions, so that uniform IR- radiation covers whole area. Radiation requirements

Security Systems 3 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 The sensitivity of a receiver is at its best when it is aimed directly towards a radiator. Rotating the receiver will decrease the sensitivity. For rotations of less than +/- 45 degrees this effect is not large, but for larger rotations the sensitivity will decrease rapidly. The sensitivity of the receiver

The output power of the radiator is constant, therefore the total radiation energy is divided over the number of transmitted carriers. When more carriers are used, the coverage area gets smaller.

Fluorescent lamps (with or without electronic ballast or dimming facility), such as TL lamps or energy saving lamps give no problems. Ambient Lighting Sunlight and artificial lighting with incandescent or halogen lamps up to 1000 lux give no problems.

Security Systems 10 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 When lighting levels higher than 1000 lux of incandescent or halogen lamps, such as spotlights or stage lighting are applied, you should directly point a radiator at the receivers in order to ensure reliable transmission. For venues containing large, unscreened windows, you must plan on using additional radiators. For events taking place in the open air a site test will be required in order to determine the required amount of radiators. With sufficient radiators installed, the receivers will work without errors, even in bright sunlight. Ambient Lighting

Security Systems 11 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 The presence of objects in a conference venue can influence the distribution of infra-red light. The texture and colour of the objects, walls and ceilings also plays an important role. Infra-red radiation is reflected from almost all surfaces. As is the case with visible light, smooth, bright or shiny surfaces reflect well. Dark or rough surfaces absorb large proportions of the IR-signal. Objects, surfaces and reflections

Security Systems 19 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 However, differences in the delays of the signals picked up by the receiver from two or more radiators can result in that the signals cancel each other out (multi path effect). Overlapping footprints and multipath effect In worst-case situations this can lead to a loss of reception at such positions (black spots).

Security Systems 20 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 Signal delays The signals picked up by the receiver are delayed by: the transmission from transmitter to radiator through the cable (cable signal delay) the transmission from radiator to receiver through the air (radiation signal delay) When a transmitter in master-mode is used in combination with a transmitter in slave-mode, an extra signal delay is added by: Transmission from master transmitter to slave transmitter (cable signal delay) Transmission through the slave transmitter. The lower the carrier frequency, the less susceptible the receiver is for differences in signal delays. The signal delays can be compensated by using the delay compensation switches on the radiators.

Security Systems 28 Integrus Tech SD 03.Mar.06 Planning an infra-red system Determining the optimal number of infra-red radiators required to give 100% coverage can normally only be done by performing a site test. However, a good estimation can be made by using guaranteed rectangular footprints. Figure 1.20 Figure 1.21 Figure 1.20 and figure 1.21 show what is meant by a rectangular footprint. As can be seen, the rectangular footprint is smaller than the total footprint. Note that in figure 1.21 the offset X is negative because the radiator is actually mounted beyond the horizontal point at which the rectangular footprint starts. FP Calculation
